Bauers Homers, But Brewers Fall Short
by Jesse Garcia | Brewers Correspondent | Thu, Sep 26th 6:27am EDT
Jake Bauers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Brewers' 2-1 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Bauers's ability to connect for his 12th homer of the season was a small silver lining on an otherwise disappointing day for Milwaukee. Bauers's season has been a struggle, with a batting average lingering below the Mendoza Line at .197, and his power numbers, while modest, are one of the few highlights in his statistical portfolio. His consistent power does offer some value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly those that reward home runs and RBI, but his high strikeout rate and low batting average make him a risky play. Fantasy managers should consider Bauers primarily in matchups where his power could exploit weaker pitching, though his overall impact remains limited by his batting inconsistencies.
